Reid & Harrison (1980) Ltd have been in the business of successfully pumping liquid / solid slurries for over 50 years.

Bob Dalley took over directorship of Reid & Harrison (1980) Ltd after 20 years working for the company, including a large input into the development of the original Yardmaster pump, and still maintains an active role in the company. He was joined by his son, Seaton Dalley as co-director in 1993.

Along with 13 staff, many of whom have in excess of 10 years experience with Reid & Harrison, they have pushed the Yardmaster product to the leading position in the New Zealand market. As requirements have altered in the industry, Reid & Harrison (1980) Ltd have continued to develop the Yardmaster range to stay at the top.

One of the most difficult problems put to Reid & Harrison was to shift chicken waste from a nearby chicken abattoir. The waste, to be pumped by a Yardmaster pump, included chicken feathers, feet, offal and reject whole birds. The problem was solved by the heavy duty Yardmaster with a 150mm inlet delivering through a 100mm outlet hose. The solids were screened off and the water recycled on a daily basis. This difficult pumping operation requires negligible maintenance and blockages are very rare. This chicken pumping exercise is testimony to the diverse use Yardmaster pumps have been put through over the years.

For non-clogging and minimal maintenance the Yardmaster is Number One!
